Little Black Sambo by Helen Bannerman is a children's book that tells the story of a young boy named Sambo and his adventures with a group of tigers. While the book has faced controversy and criticism over racial stereotypes, it has also been interpreted as a tale of wit and resourcefulness.

Key Points:
The book features a spirited protagonist who uses his intelligence and cleverness to outsmart the tigers, highlighting themes of bravery, quick thinking, and resilience.
Little Black Sambo has historical significance as one of the first children's books to depict a child of African descent as the main character, albeit using caricatures that perpetuated harmful racial stereotypes.
